My dear friend @marxrab,
Thank you so very much for your kind words. I'm delighted to hear that you visit regularly, because I really do want readers here on Steemit, even more than the $$$ (which I don't discount at all, by the way!).
I have been amazed by Steemit. Maybe it's a "pioneering spirit" or something? But I am truly grateful about how respectfully I have been treated here no matter what the religious or philosophical background of community members may be. And I truly do believe that I can learn from almost anybody, and certainly from so many I have met here who have interacted with me patiently and kindly.
